okay so i installed OBGE, and I have OBSE which I use to launch oblivion and it works perfectly still.

but when I enable Oblivion graphics extender in my oblivion data files, it says that a dll file is missing. (d3 dx9_43.dll)

I have never even seen this file until now. OBSE sil works perfectley and the games main files are there, I just want to know what the heck im supposed to do with this.

and please put it in lamens terms, no "high tech" talk because I will not understand it.

thanks- bruce

Have you installed the DirectX comprehensive update, as instructed in OBGE's documentation (e.g., in the OP of the current release thread, or the docs that came with the mod you downloaded)?

actually when I first installed oblivion, it asked me to update with the directx.

and the doc files?

and even if I dont have OBGE checked in my data files it still gives me that message.

No, I mean the update specified by the OBGE team, in OBGE's documentation. Have a read through the relevant parts of the first post in the current release thread (it is still on the first page here). There will be mention of a specific DirectX update. That is the one I was referring to.

where can I get this update?

and if you know, what is this perticular Dll file?

From the OP of the current release thread (or, actually, thread #37 would be just as good for this purpose, and it is also on the first page here) - what I called a "mention" is in fact a link. Just click on the DirectX update link there, then download and install the actual update from the page you end up at.

okay I got the file working.

now my last question would be. can someone give me some pointers on what good things there are to tweak.

and what numbers I should set them to.

a list if done please, thanks

Once again, the answers you seek are to be found in the OP of the current release thread. However, to save some potential redundant posting back and forth, I will post the link for you here as well: http://obge.paradice-insight.us/wiki/Settings_recommended_by_users

Note that those are just suggestions. Or, in fact, what a (small) number of actual mod users consider best for them. It is all highly subjective, and the best (only?) way to find out what works for you, is to experiment.

I wish you the best of luck with that.
